I'll reply to this one because Raevenskye seems to be the most interested and the least ego-happy about how to answer my semi-facetious post.
The RF design guys take the position that you have to run screaming from what I said about the frequencies because you would have to. I don't blame them. The post was simply to get people to think outside of the spectral box for a bit. The DVR (digital voice recorders) are square wave based sampling devices at heart. A square wave is a combination of frequencies (the first harmonic plus all the odd harmonics). If you are recording something that wasn't heard by your ears, then chances are, it is somehow tied to the superaudio frequencies that are being picked up by a DVR. (like heterodyning an IF circuit in a receiver) If your antenna and amplifier are designed to pick up audio frequencies, then they aren't going to find the ghosts (droids?)you are looking for. My exaggeration into (nonexistent)super-Planck range is a personal fantasy and a suspicion related to much of the UFO discussions, especially the 'static electricity' feeling of the people in Chicago recently. We don't yet know enough about Cassimir forces to say what exists beyond our own electromagnetic frequencies and fields, measured by electromagnetic based instruments, filtered by the prejudices we inevitably have toward our standard ideas of institutional reality.
If you want to pick up audio frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum, simply find a guitar and amp. My guitar picks up the prf of my VCR's remote control.
If these ghosts or spirits were in the audio ranges, every Tom, Dick, and Oilcan Harry would have been hearing voices at every rock concert.
If I were a spirit, and I had the entire spectrum to dwell in, I'm pretty sure it would have to be a range where enough energy exists to keep my photons coherent against a very noisy cosmic background. Everything on our world is based on the useful spectrum of our sun and the interactions with the (non-dark) matter and photons which make up our world. Once we acknowledge dark energy and dark matter, we should also acknowledge that there could be other forms of existence which are simply harmonics of this one. Perhaps what we see and hear as paranormal are simply energy-based coherences which interact only at ultra-high frequencies and survive by 'surfing' cosmic waves, or as interference patterns on cosmic rays. When the conditions are just right, we pick them up in the ranges of things we use only as long as they create standing wave reflections or are absorbed by air or moisture.
If you are familiar with phased-array radar systems, think about this: the direction of the beam is controlled simply by the phase difference between each transmitter in the array. What if the energy in a high frequency beam somehow managed to form a self-replicating loop? Then several loops? A pattern? A double helix? Simply energy, feeding on the background, traveling forever until absorbed by another entity. With an infinite universe to play in, and almost an infinite array of sources of energy, what are the chances that only mass-based patterns become self-replicating? Evolution in an energy being would have to tend toward higher and higher frequencies to reach higher levels of complexity, just as computers tend toward higher frequencies to gain switching ability. Imagine a star that is actually a living being..(oh, wait, Neil Gaiman already took care of that...;-)
Sorry I didn't respond sooner, email notification just popped up.

P.S. Auntiegrav is only a 'she' in name because "antigrav" was already taken. Yes, I do like to stir the pot, but I have my own particular view of physics and the universe, so it isn't just to be a prick. As crazy as some of my comments may sound to the orthodox, they are sometimes based on research I have done or science which is not well published or just a 'feel' for living and nonliving systems and machines that I have built, worked with, or operated.
